Our Mission: To provide a comfortable and relaxing coffee
house environment for travelers, students, and local residents
in a setting that encourages social interaction; to provide great
organic coffee drinks and (mostly) organic food (breakfast, lunch,
and dinner); to employ and empower local Oaxaqueños and
pay them well above industry averages en lieu of making a profit,
and to support the farmers of organic coffee and other regional
produce.

Our Business Philosophy: People first, money last. Los Cuiles is a non-profit business: all earnings are for the staff and kept by the staff.

Our coffee. We like it strong but not over roasted! We select a mild, full flavored blend
which is roasted daily a few blocks away by Juan at Cafe Nuevo Mundo.

Our weakness: We like to stay in touch with the outside
world. The Cafe provides free high speed wireless internet (wi-fi hotspot) for its
lap top endowed customers. What, didn't bring one? Well, you will have to read a book then. (We like book readers in the cafe!)

Our hope: You will come to Oaxaca, stay, and when (if?)
you leave Oaxaca, you will leave it a better place than when you
came. There is a lot going on under the surface that the tourist
doesn't see. Grinding, seemingly indomitable forces that oppress.
Be your own force. Be a force for good.
